June 11, 200818 yr Author comment_128901 Two words with some numbers: Emu 0404 USBNot the same target market, I don't think. The Bellari == mostly a phono preamp; listening to vinyl directly to headphones, with the ability to digitize it as bonuses; the Emu == the ability to digitize line level signals, but you still need a phono preamp. Neh? Report
June 12, 200818 yr comment_129312 That thing that holds the tube in (And/or dampens vibrations?) looks like a stupid pain in the ass. Report
June 12, 200818 yr Author comment_129313 Yes, but it protects it from the occasional unidentified falling object. Report
June 12, 200818 yr comment_129325 Pretty cool looking with the tube. I just like tubes in general though Report
June 12, 200818 yr comment_129341 I would just be angry in the "HALP I MISPLACED MY SCREW DRIVER OR HAX THINGY BUT I NEED TO TUBE ROLL" situation. Report
June 13, 200818 yr comment_129367 pliers would probably do the job. on my VP129 it was fucking impossible without pliers, I kid you not. but hell, its a 12ax7 tube on a cheap ass phono stage. just throw in an Ei and be done with it. that one you only need your tooly thing once. Report
February 20, 201214 yr comment_498964 Just heard the Bellari HA540 headphone amp today with a few sources (mostly Chords) and HD800s. Only a couple discs, but way better the $300 price would indicate. Surprising even. Plenty of gain for the Senns, etc. Curious about a better tube. http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=HA540 Edited February 21, 201214 yr by blessingx Report
